Whether you garden for flowers or food, there will be plenty of “food for thought” at Colonial Williamsburg’s 66th Garden Symposium, “Beautiful Gardens: Bountiful Options,” on April 15-16. Participants discover alternative plant choices and techniques that will help grow gardens that are both beautiful and productive.

Guest speakers and Colonial Williamsburg landscape staff will offer a bounty of tips and ideas to make the best use of time and space in the garden and include:

Bill Krebs, Williamsburg, Va., “A Year in the Life of a Honeybee Colony.”

Rhys Lewis, executive chef, and Tenita Weygand, chef, Williamsburg Lodge, “History Never Tasted So Good,” an interactive culinary demonstration and tasting featuring foods and dishes introduced to the New World by the first American foodies.

Garden Symposium attendees can choose from one of three optional programs:

Flowers and Forges. Colonial Williamsburg’s Ken Schwarz, master blacksmith, and Susan Dippre, landscape supervisor. Learn about the plants, design and maintenance of several intimate gardens, then visit Colonial Williamsburg’s reconstruction of Anderson’s Blacksmith Shop and Public Armoury. Discover how this site evolved from a small, commercial blacksmithing operation into an extensive and diverse public manufactory.
